A vital part of a manager's job is, in current jargon, to talk the talk which is to inspire belief. We all know how difficult it is to persuade the people of Accrington to support their local club, but if the words of the manager are less than inspirational, that only makes the problem worse.

The fans are massive particularly for a club like us and we have to bring the feelgood factor back.

I do agree that, as things currently stand, we could not possibly cope with promotion. But an appearance in a play-off final at Wembley would be fantastic. I'm not convinced that the manager's words, right from the start, have helped to bring the "feelgood factor". Yes, he may be being realistic; but that will not bring the crowds to the Crown.
